Python | Getting steering wheel to work in Arcade

Steering wheels in pygame and arcade go under the name "joysticks". I was able to get my Logitech G27 Racing Wheel to work with pygame but not with Arcade. I made a project using Arcade and used the joystick handling from pygame. 

General idea of the code, important parts:

joysticks = None

def init():

    pygame.init()

    pygame.joystick.init()

    global joysticks

    joysticks = [pygame.joystick.Joystick(x) for x in range(pygame.joystick.get_count())]

class MyGame(arcade.Window):

    def __init__(self):

    ...

    '''

    Use Logitech G27 Racing Wheel if found, else the first connected, if

    any.

    '''

    self.joy_in_use = None

    if joysticks:  

            for joystick in joysticks:  

                if "Logitech G27 Racing Wheel USB" in joystick.get_name():

                    self.joy_in_use = joystick  

               

            if not self.joy_in_use:

                self.joy_in_use = joysticks[0]

       

        if self.joy_in_use:

            self.joy_in_use.init()

    def arcade_joystick_events(self):

        for event in pygame.event.get(): # User did something.

               

            if event.type == JOYBUTTONDOWN:

                input = event.button

                if (input == 0 or input == 6):

                    # code for player jump

           

            if event.type == pygame.JOYAXISMOTION:

                if joysticks:

                    if (axis_val := self.joy_in_use.get_axis(0)) > 0.2:

                        # code for player moving right

                        # axis_val can be used to affect moving speed.

                        

                    elif axis_val < - 0.2:

                        # code for player moving left

                    else:

                        # code for player standing still

       

        pygame.time.wait(10)

    def on_update(self, delta_time):

        self.arcade_joystick_events()

        ...
